information relating thereto.

acceptable to Lender, and (ii) governed by terms and conditions acceptable to
Lender.  Deposits (net of fees) shall be applied to reduce the Loan balance
including Advances, interest, fees, all applicable charges and other payments,
if applicable, within 24 hours.  Deposits/receipts will reduce the Borrowing
Base in accordance with Section 2.3 above.  Any receipts (net of such
servicer's fees) remaining after all such payments to Lender will be paid to
Borrower within 24 hours of receipt.  Borrower shall bear all charges for
establishing and maintaining the post office box accounts and all bank charges
for such deposit accounts.  Lender shall deduct from the deposit accounts all
sums Borrower owes to it hereunder, including fees, interest, reimbursements
and principal payments.  Any obligations not paid by such deduction shall be
satisfied by direct payment to Lender at 4041 MacArthur Blvd., Suite 401,

shall be assessed a late payment penalty of five percent (5%).

Agreement is two (2) years.  Provided that no Event of Default or any Unmatured
Event of Default exists, Borrower may terminate this Agreement provided that it
pays to Lender an amount equal to two and one half percent (2.5%) f the
Commitment Amount if canceled in year 1 of the initial term; and one and one
half percent (1.5%) of the Commitment Amount if canceled in year 2.  This
Agreement shall be renewed for consecutive one (1) year terms unless this
Agreement is terminated, effective as of the last day of a term, by written
notice by Lender or Borrower no later than thirty (30) days before the
expiration of such term.  All of lender's obligations, responsibilities and
duties shall cease upon the date of termination of this Agreement, except for
its obligation to remit excess receipts from the lock box deposit accounts in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

                 SECTION 2.8.  LENDER'S FEES.  Upon execution hereof, Lender
shall be entitled to an origination fee equal to one and one half percent
(1.5%) of $1,500,000, less $10,000.00 currently on deposit, plus one and one
half percent (1.5%) of $500,000 upon the Borrowing base availability first
exceeding $1,500,000.  Increases to the Commitment Amount during the term will
be charged on the

Amount and the average outstanding Loan amount as of the previous month;
provided however, that such unutilized loan fee shall not exceed $1,000 per
month.  Lender's fees will be deducted, when due, directly from receipts from
accounts receivable deposited in accordance with Section 2.6.

                 SECTION 2.9.  INTEREST ON THE LOANS.  All Advances shall bear
interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made until paid
in full at a fluctuating rate equal to the Prime Rate plus three percent (3%).
Interest shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each month for
the preceding month.  Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of
360 days, but for the actual number of days elapsed.  Interest accrued but not
paid pursuant to Section 2.6 shall be treated as an Advance if not otherwise
paid within five (5) days of the end of the month in which it accrues.

deliver to Lender, concurrent with Borrower's execution of this Agreement and
at any time or times hereafter at the request of Lender, all financing

lawful attorney with power to sign the name of Borrower on any of the
above-described documents or on any other similar documents that need to be
executed, recorded or filed in order to perfect or continue to be perfected
Lender's Liens in the Collateral.

                 SECTION 7.2.  LENDER'S DUTY OF CARE.  Lender shall have no
duty of care with respect to the Collateral except that Lender shall exercise
reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in Lender's custody.  Lender
shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care is such property is accorded
treatment substantially equal to that which Lender accords its own property of
if Lender takes such action with respect to the collateral as Borrower shall
request or agree to in writing provided that neither failure to comply with any
such request nor any omission to do any such act requested by Borrower shall be
deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care.  Lender's failure to take steps
to preserve rights against any parties or property shall not be deemed to be
failure to exercise reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in Lender's
custody.  All risk, loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be
borne by Borrower.

                 SECTION 7.3.  REINSTATEMENT OF LIENS.  If, at any time after

Liens, any payments on Obligations previously made by Borrower or any other
Person must be disgorged by Lender for any reason whatsoever (including,
without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of Borrower
or such other Person), this Agreement and Lender's Liens granted hereunder
shall be reinstated as to all disgorged payments as though such payments had
not been made, and Borrower shall sign and deliver to Lender all documents and
other items necessary to perfect all terminated Liens.

                 SECTION 7.4.  LENDER EXPENSES.  If Borrower fails, as required
by the terms hereof, (i) to pay any moneys (whether taxes, assessments,
insurance premiums or otherwise) due to third persons or entities, (ii) to make
any deposits or furnish any required proof of payment or deposit or (iii) to
discharge any Lien not permitted hereby, then Lender may, to the extent that it
determines that such failure by Borrower could have a material adverse effect
on Lender's interests in the Collateral, in its discretion and without 24 prior
notice to Borrower, make payment of the same, or any part thereof; provided 
however, that Lender shall not obligated to give 24 hours notice and may





                                       11
<PAGE>   12
make payments immediately if Lender, in its reasonable judgement determines
that such 24 hour notice might adversely impact its interest in the Collateral.
Any amounts paid or deposited by Lender shall constitute Lender Expenses, shall
become part of the Obligations, shall bear interest at the rate of eighteen
percent (18%) per annum, and shall be secured by the Collateral.  Any payments
made by Lender shall not constitute (a) an agreement by Lender to make similar
payments in the future or (b) a waiver by Lender of any Event of Default under
this Agreement.  Lender need not inquire as to, or contest the validity of, any
such expense, tax, security interest, encumbrance or Lien and the receipt of
the usual official notice for the payment of moneys to a governmental entity
shall be conclusive evidence that the same was validly due and owing.

                 Borrower shall immediately and without demand reimburse Lender
for all sums expended by Lender that constitute Lender Expenses, and Borrower
hereby authorizes and approves all advances and payments by Lender for items
constituting Lender Expenses.

                 SECTION 7.5  INSPECTION OF RECORDS.  During usual business
hours, Lender shall have the right to inspect Borrower's Books and records in

any, it may have with any accounting firm or service bureau in connection with
any information requested by Lender pursuant to this Agreement and agrees that
Lender may directly contact any such accounting firm or service bureau in order
to obtain such information solely for Lender's own use or to effectuate the
purpose of this Agreement.

                 SECTION 7.6.  WAIVERS.  Except as specifically provided for

                 SECTION 9.16.  AMENDMENTS.  Borrower shall not amend any

                                    REMEDIES

                 SECTION 11.1.  SPECIFIC REMEDIES.  Upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default:

                 (a)      Lender may cease advancing money or extending credit
to or for the benefit of Borrower under this Agreement, under any other Loan
Document, or under any other agreement between Borrower and Lender.

                 (b)      Lender may declare all Obligations to be due and
payable immediately, whereupon they shall immediately become due and payable
without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are
hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

                 (c)      Lender may set off against the Obligations all
Collateral, balances, credits, deposits, accounts, or moneys of Borrower then
or thereafter held with Lender, including amounts represented by certificates
of deposit.

                 (d)      Lender may pay, purchase, contest or compromise any
encumbrance, charge or Lien that, in the opinion of Lender, appears to be prior
or superior to its Lien and pay all reasonable expenses incurred in connection
therewith.

                 (e)      Lender may (i) notify Account Debtors to make payment
on Accounts directly to Lender, (ii) settle, adjust, compromise, extend or
renew Accounts, whether before or after legal proceedings to collect such
Accounts have commenced; (iii) prepare and file any bankruptcy proofs of claim
or similar documents against any Account Debtor; (iv) prepare and file any
notice, assignment, satisfaction, or release of Lien, UCC termination statement
or any similar document; (v) sell or assign Accounts, individually or in bulk,
upon such terms, for such amounts, and at such time or times as Lender deems
advisable; and (vi) complete the performance required of Borrower under any
contract or agreement to which Borrower is a party and out of which Accounts
arise or may arise.

                 (f)      Lender may (i) endorse Borrower's name on all checks,
notes, drafts, money orders or other forms of payment of or security for
Accounts or other Collateral; (ii) sign Borrower's name on drafts drawn on
Account Debtors or issuers of letters of credit; and (iii) notify the postal
authorities in Borrower's name to change the address for delivery of Borrower's
mail to an address designated by Lender, receive and open all mail to addressed
Borrower, copy all mail, return all mail relating to Collateral, and overnight
all other mail to Borrower, at Borrower's expense; provided, however, that
Lender has agreed to cover such expense, with respect to the overnighting of
mail to Borrower relating to the Collateral, for thirty (30) days commencing
five (5) from such date that postal authorities have been notified.

                 SECTION 11.2.  POWER OF ATTORNEY.  Borrower hereby appoints
Lender (and any of Lender's officers, employees, or agents designated by
Lender) as Borrower's attorney, with power whether before or after the
occurrence of an Event of Default: (a) to endorse Borrower's name on any
checks, notes, acceptances, money orders, drafts or other forms of payment or
security that may come into Lender's possession; (b) to sign Borrower's name on
drafts against Accounts Debtors, on schedules and assignments of Accounts, on
verifications of Accounts, and on notices to Account Debtors; (c) to send
requests for verification of Accounts; (d) to execute UCC Financing Statements;
and (e) to do all





                                       19
<PAGE>   20
things necessary to carry out this Agreement.  The appointment of Lender as
Borrower's attorney and each and every one of Lender's rights and powers, being
coupled with an interest, are irrevocable as long as any Obligations are
outstanding.  Lender agrees not to exercise the power granted in clause 11.2(b)
or 11.2(e) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and agrees not to
exercise the power granted in clause 11.2(d) prior to notification of Borrower
of its intent to do so, but such limitations do not limit the effectiveness of
such power of attorney at any time.  Any person dealing with Lender shall be
entitled to rely conclusively on any written or oral statement of Lender that
this power of attorney is in effect.  Lender may also use Borrower's stationery
in connection with exercising its rights and remedies and performing the
Obligations of Borrower.

                 SECTION 11.3.  EXPENSES SECURED.  All expenses, including
reasonable attorney fees, incurred by Lender in the exercise of its rights and
remedies provided in this Agreement, in the other Loan Documents or by law
shall be payable by Borrower to Lender, shall be part of the Obligations, and
shall be secured by the Collateral.

                 SECTION 11.4  EQUITABLE RELIEF.  Borrower recognizes that in
the event Borrower fails to perform, observe, or discharge any of its
Obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, no remedy of law will provide
adequate relief to Lender, and Borrower agrees that Lender shall be entitled to
temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the
necessity of proving actual damages.

                 SECTION 11.5  REMEDIES ARE CUMULATIVE.  No remedy set forth
herein is exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each is
cumulative and in addition to every other right or remedy given under this
Agreement or under any other agreement between Lender and Borrower or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.  Lender may pursue its
rights and remedies concurrently or in any sequence, and no exercise of one
right or remedy shall be deemed to be an election.  No delay by Lender shall
constitute a waiver, election or acquiescence by it.

                                   SECTION 12

                                   INDEMNITY

                 SECTION 12.1.  GENERAL INDEMNITY.  Borrower shall protect,
indemnify and defend and save harmless Lender and its directors, officers,
agents and employees from and against any and all loss, cost, liability
(including negligence, tort and strict liability), expense, damage, suits or
demands (including fees and disbursements of counsel) on account of any suit or
proceeding before any Governmental Authority which arises from the transactions
contemplated in this Agreement or otherwise arising in connection with or
relating to the Loan and any security therefor, unless such suit, claim or
damages are caused by the negligence or intentional malfeasance of Lender or
its directors, officer, agents or employees.  Upon receiving knowledge of any
suit, claim or demand asserted by a third-party that Lender believes is covered
by this indemnity, Lender shall give Borrower timely notice of the matter and
an opportunity to defend it, at Borrower's sole cost and expense, with legal
counsel acceptable to Lender.  Lender may, at its option, also require Borrower
to so defend the matter.  This obligation on the part of Borrower shall survive
the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Note.

                                   SECTION 13

                                 MISCELLANEOUS

                 SECTION 13.1.  DELAY AND WAIVER.  No delay or omission to
exercise any right shall impair any such right or be a waiver thereof, but any
such right may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed
expedient.  A waiver on one occasion shall be limited to that particular
occasion.

                 SECTION 13.2.  COMPLETE AGREEMENT.  This Agreement and the
Schedules are the complete agreement of the parties hereto and supersede all
previous understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.  This Agreement
may be amended only by an instrument in writing that explicitly states that it
amends this Agreement and is signed by the party against whom enforcement of
the amendment is sought.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each
of which will be an original and all of which will constitute a single
agreement.

                 SECTION 13.3.  SEVERABILITY; HEADINGS.  If any part of this
Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is held
invalid, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.  The
section headings herein are included for convenience only and shall not be
deemed to be a part of this Agreement.

                 SECTION 13.4.  BINDING EFFECT.  This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective legal representatives,
successors and assigns of the parties hereto; however, Borrower may not assign
any of its rights or delegate any of its Obligations hereunder without prior
consent of Lender which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Lender
(and any subsequent assignee) may transfer and assign this Agreement and
deliver the Collateral to the assignee, who shall thereupon have all of the
rights of Lender; and Lender (or such subsequent assignee who in turn assigns
as aforesaid) shall then be relieved and discharged of any responsibility or
liability with respect to this Agreement and said Collateral.

                 SECTION 13.5  NOTICES.  Any notices under or pursuant to this
Agreement shall be deemed duly sent when delivered in hand or when mailed by
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or when delivered by

                            SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE
                            DATED DECEMBER 30, 1996


         FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (collectively and individually
"Maker") jointly and severally hereby promise to pay to DVI Business Credit
Corporation or its assignee (the "Holder") or order,the principal sum of Two
Millions and 00/100 $2,000,000.00) or such amount thereof as may be from time
to time advanced hereunder, pursuant to the terms of that certain Loan and
Security Agreement dated as of the date hereof between Holder as Lender, Maker
as Borrower (the "Agreement"), with interest on the unpaid principal balance
from time to time outstanding until paid at the fluctuating rate of interest
announced publicly by Bank of America, NT&SA in San Francisco, California, from
time to time as its Prime Rate plus three percent (3%) per annum, computed on
the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed, until paid.  Interest
shall be payable on the first of each month this Note is outstanding in
accordance with the terms of the Agreement, with all unpaid principal and
interest due and payable in full on the second anniversary of the date hereof.

         If any part of the interest due on this Note is not paid when due, it
shall be added to the principal amount of this Note and thereafter bear
interest at the rate provided above.  If the specified interest rate shall at
any time exceed the maximum allowed by law, then the applicable interest rate
shall be reduced to the maximum allowed by law.

         1.      This Note shall be subject to prepayment or redemption in
whole or in part at any time without penalty or premium.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Agreement may not be terminated, and will not be terminated by
any prepayment, without payment of the termination fee required pursuant to
Section 2.7 of the Agreement.

         2.      Principal and interest shall be payable to Holder at 4041
MacArthur Blvd., Suite 401, Newport Beach, CA 92660, or such other place as the
Holder may, from time to time in writing, appoint.

         3.      This Note is made pursuant to, and secured by the Agreement.
This Note is also secured by any Security Documents referred to in the
Agreement.  The Agreement and the Security Documents create a lien on and
security interest in, the personal property described therein ("Collateral").
The Agreement and the Security Documents shall hereinafter be collectively
referred to as the "Loan and Security Documents" and are hereby incorporated by
reference in and made a part of this Note.

         4.      The occurrence of any Event of Default under the Agreement
shall, at the election of the Holder, make the entire unpaid balance of the
principal amount of this Note and accrued interest immediately due and payable
without notice of default, presentment or demand for payment, protest or notice
of nonpayment or dishonor, or other notices or demands of any kind or
character.

         5.      Failure of the Holder to exercise the acceleration option of
paragraph 4 of this Note on the occurrence of any of the events enumerated
therein shall not constitute waiver of the right to exercise such option on the
subsequent occurrence of any of the events enumerated therein.

         6.      Principal and interest shall be payable in lawful money of the
United States of America which shall be legal tender in payment of all debts
and dues, public and private, at the time of payment.  Maker waives
presentment, demand for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest and notice of
protest, and all other notices and demands in connection with the deliver,
acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note.  Maker consents
to any and all assignments of this  Note, extensions of time,





                                       24
<PAGE>   25
renewals and waivers that may be made or granted by the Holder.  Maker
expressly agrees that such assignments, extensions of time, renewals or waivers
shall not affect Maker's liability.  Maker agrees that Holder may, without
notice to Maker and without affecting the liability of Maker, accept additional
or substitute security for this Note, release any security or any party liable
for this Note or extend or renew this Note.

         7.      If Maker shall fail to make any payment of interest or
principal, including the payment due upon maturity, when the same is due and
payable and such failure shall continue for five (5) business days after
nonpayment, a late charge by way of damages shall be immediately due and
payable.  Maker recognizes that default by Maker in making the payments herein
agreed to be paid when due will result in the Holder incurring additional
expenses, in loss to the Holder of the use of the money due and in frustration
to the Holder in meeting its other commitments.  Maker agrees that, if for any
reason Maker fails to pay any amount due under this Note when due, the Holder
shall be entitled to damages for the detriment caused thereby, but that it is
extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such damages.
Maker therefore agrees that a sum equal to five cents ($.05) for each one
dollar ($1.00) of each payment which is not received within five (5) business
days after the date it is due and payable is a reasonable estimate of the said
damages to the Holder, which sum Maker agrees to pay on demand.

          8.     If action be instituted on this Note (including without
limitation, any proceedings for collection hereof in any bankruptcy or probate
matter or case), or if proceedings are commenced on or under any of the Loan
and Security Documents, Maker promises to pay the Holder all costs of
collection and enforcement including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees.

         9.      Any and all notices or other communications or payments
required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be effective when received or
refused if given or rendered in writing, in the manner provided in the
Agreement.

         10.     This Note shall inure to the benefit of the Holder's
successors and assigns.  References to the "Holder" shall be deemed to refer to
the holder(s) of this Note at the time such reference becomes relevant.

         11.     If any term, provision, covenant, or condition of this Note is
held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or unenforceable,
the rest of this Note shall remain in full force and effect to the greater
extent permitted by law and shall in no other way be affected, impaired or
invalidated.

         12.     Nothing contained herein or in the Loan and Security Documents
shall be deemed to prevent recourse to and the enforcement against Maker and
the Collateral of all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained
herein and in the Loan and Security Documents.

         13.     THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED UNDER THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND MAKER AGREES TO SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE
STATE AND/OR FEDERAL COURTS IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
